Here's a subversive little riff that will worm its way into your cerebral cortex... The band is General Elektriks and this is the studio cut of Raid The Radio from their latest release, Good City For Dreaming. In person this is the ultimate keyboard experience. Herve RV Saters is a conssumate master and brings his sense of wild style and retro Dance to life with his clavichords and mini moogs, even...

I'm digging KCRW's DJ Anthony Valadez' new I Love Music Mix. He earns extra cred for ending the mix with a Ryuichi Sakamoto track. Here's the tracklisting: The XX - Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix) Sade – Skin Jose James...

The above pictures are mochi from a fancy shop in downtown SF. Minamoto Kitchoan . The Mochi is imported from Japan. My pal Reiko is from Japan and she says these are the best mochi in the city. I disagree. I like the Mochi that is made right here in Japantown in a little diner at a place on Sutter st called Benkyodo. The mochi is super fresh and they have mochi that is coated in fresh ground soy flour....

Of all the lists we’ve created here at melophobe, this one was the toughest. As Ian Doreian observed during our discussions, many of these albums are like “personal friends.” However, after hours of debate, thousands of words sent over email and several deadlines missed, we reached an end. The result: melophobe’s shot at naming the best hip-hop of the decade. Blackalicious:...

Here are my favorite albums released from 2000 to 2009. I tried to narrow this down to a top ten, but I just couldn’t make the final cuts, so it’s a baker’s dozen. Who Needs Electricity? by Operation: Cliff Clavin [2000] — Acoustic anarcho-primitivist folkpunk from Bloomington, Indiana. O:CC was one of my favorite punk bands [...]

Gift of Gab's voice is its own infectious instrument. But on Escape 2 Mars that alone can't shoulder the weight of dull hooks and trite, proselytizing lyrics. Gift of Gab is nothing if not infectious to listen to. His voice and his flow are really just extensions of the instrumentation behind him, a blistering lead to lay over the laid-back funk or spacey bleeps in the background. Whether on his own,...
